I'M PEAKING

Are ravers getting too spoiled?! 👀 In Episode 102 of the I'M PEAKING Podcast, we get into whether expectations for massive visuals, surprise guests, and bigger productions are getting out of hand, and whether gatekeeping is actually good for rave culture. We discuss Berghain’s selective door policy, what our social lives would look like if we stopped raving, and whether rising costs are pricing people out of the scene. We also recap the Pokémon rave with Alison Wonderland and Marshmello, and react to deadmau5’s take on prerecorded DJ sets, Subtronics on the dubstep community, and raves for toddlers. Plus, long lines at Gryffin and $25 for one chicken tender and fries?! We’ve got questions. 😂

Do guys go to raves for the music… or the girls?! 👀 In Episode 101 of the I'M PEAKING Podcast, we dress up for Halloween and get into why some guys really go to festivals, the assumptions people make about women’s rave outfits, and whether raving gets lonelier as you get older. We also talk about the Niteharts experience, newer ravers learning PLUR, and why bad weather isn’t an excuse to leave your campsite trashed. Plus, we react to HeadTrip’s evacuation, a fan clacker getting called out, and sober gym raves before putting our rave knowledge to the test with Guess the Rave Object. 💀Have you ever felt lonely or left out at a rave, even with your own rave fam? Let us know in the comments!

In Episode 99 of the I'M PEAKING Podcast, we discuss relationships, trust, and whether regularly attending festivals without your partner should be a red flag. We also ask whether ravers are using PLUR as an excuse for bad behavior: from cyberbullying over shoulder rides and festival stunts to the backlash against Jan’s hot takes on festival debt, substance use, and responsible raving. When does being “nonjudgmental” turn into letting everything slide? Plus, we discuss looking out for each other at events, Kyle’s experience at Kaskade’s Sunsoaked, and whether Burning Man is worth the chaos, before reacting to viral rave clips featuring a crowd-surfing banana, an impressive all-female shoulder stack, and a guy who apparently thought the rail was a bathroom. 💀

Would you be okay with your partner going to festivals without you? Tell us where you draw the line in the comments! 👇 We hope you enjoy this episode 🤍

Is getting messed up at raves in your 30s embarrassing, or are people just being judgmental? 👀 In EP. 98 of the I’M PEAKING Podcast, we’re joined by rising pop EDM artist, singer, and producer MONIC to share some of our most embarrassing rave stories and question whether enjoying EDM is something you’re ever supposed to “grow out of.” Also, is all dubstep starting to sound the same, or are our tastes just changing? Join us as we discuss Kaskade's new wave of producing dubstep, Devin's “dubstep fatigue,” and whether hearing similar sets back-to-back has us craving something different.  We also get into GTA 6 EDM nightclub footage, how video games introduce people to electronic music, and the difference between massive visual productions and sets that let the music do the talking. MONIC also shares music from her upcoming EP, "Here from the Beginning," and talks about building her audience through social media. Finally, we react to questionable viral rave videos, debate phones on the dance floor, and defend our love for Zedd.

What’s something you did when you first started raving that makes you cringe now? Tell us in the comments! 👇 We hope you enjoy this episode 🤍
